What is wisdom? Wisdom is not learning – it does not need to know the answer to all questions. Wisdom is special knowledge that requires a particular experience, and its subject is not only temporal things but rather God himself and things related to man’s eternal destination. But it is not only a love for God, a love to do something for God and eternity, but also for good in earthly life. Wisdom is the choice of not prioritizing anyone or anything before God. Let us pray that amid this world’s earthly things, our hearts will be fixed on heaven, where we will find true joy. In the light of Christian experience, a wise man preserves the primacy of God and spirit in all circumstances and does not prefer the transitory to the eternal.
When the glass is full, nothing can be poured into it. Whoever lives for money, power, and glory, the desire for God will no longer fit there. He who is full of passion for alcohol, sex, drugs, and games cannot be filled with God’s presence. Jesus emphasizes: „ If you do not renounce all that you have, you cannot be my disciples” (Lk 14, 33). What I am filled with is what I am: an alcoholic with alcohol, a miser with money, a lazy person with comfort, a sensualist with unbelief… We receive tutorials on „true wisdom” from various „thinkers.” However, only God gives true wisdom. The most incredible wisdom is knowing the goal and meaning of your life here on earth and in the future and taking a stance on values that are not subject to any devaluation.
Every day, we make deposits to our „spiritual account.” Life connected with God encourages us to do so, and the saints encourage us. It „can ” does not collect euros or securities but requires a state of love and sanctifying grace so that we have the right to deposits, such as St. Francis discovered in poverty, St. Ignatius of Loyola in allegiance to the Pope, St. Vincent de Paul in Charity, Vol—Monika in prayer for her son or St. Gianna Brett-Moll in giving life to her child. A new school year begins. I ask students and everyone for the gift of the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
